We're looking for a charismatic Restaurant Manager to work in our popular, stunning restaurant in Padstow, which has the benefit of 'hidden areas' such as a private dining room and secret garden space. As Restaurant Manager, you will share our passion for the industry and have previous experience in a similar role. You'll drive your department forward through developing your people, implementing activity, and controlling resources. You'll be an effective leader who is approachable and honest, and you'll improve the business using your commercial knowledge.

Key Responsibilities:

1. Putting the customer at the heart of everything by driving service excellence and standards.
2. Ensuring a safe environment by doing things in the right way.
3. Being commercially minded and maximising profits while demonstrating the initiative to drive the business forward.
4. Leading by example offering support and guidance through visibility and presence.
5. Working closely with the Head Chef and General Manager.
6. Attending monthly off-site management meetings, working with the wider team to drive the company strategy.

We're not just passionate about food; we're passionate about developing our people too. We'll help you reach your potential with:

1. Recipe For Success: Regular performance reviews.
2. Development Day: Monthly group-wide manager training days, encouraging teamwork, collaboration, knowledge sharing, and more.
3. Food and wine tastings, supplier visits, and more to develop your knowledge.
4. Support, guidance, and training from your manager.
5. Opportunities to work in different parts of our business.
6. Encouragement to apply for a promotion when the time is right.

Rick and Jill Stein started our family-run business back in 1975, and today we employ over 600 happy staff across restaurants, hotel rooms, cookery school, and retail. Rick and Jill are still heavily involved in the business, as are their three sons Ed, Jack, and Charlie, and they want this to be the best place you've ever worked.

St Petroc's Bistro was the second of Rick Stein and Jill Stein's restaurants opened in 1988. Our Bistro has grown over the years, specialising in bistro food from Britain, France, Spain, and Italy. In 2016, Ruby's Bar was opened next door to St Petroc's Bistro, and our front of house team enjoy looking after guests at both St Petroc's Bistro and Ruby's Bar.

Salary: £35,000 per annum plus up to £6,400 per year in tips (paid weekly, based on last year's earnings), giving total potential earnings of £39,900 per year.

Benefits:

1. Top 100 Best Companies to work for.
2. We believe in a good work/life balance, so you'll work no more than 45 hours per week unless you want to, and we have options for flexible shifts.
3. Brilliant tips. On top of your pay, you'll earn tips that are paid weekly into your bank, aren't subject to NI deductions, and you'll even get tips when you're on holiday!
4. Staff discounts: 50% off in our restaurants, 20% in our shops and online, and discounted hotel stays and cookery courses.
5. Free meal for two: After one year with us, you'll get a complimentary 3-course meal for two people in one of our restaurants every year.
6. Social events: You'll get the chance to meet Rick and the family at fun social events and parties.
7. Plenty of food: We provide great quality meals whilst on duty, the chance to taste all our dishes, as well as drinks and snacks whilst you're on a break.
8. Staff surprises: We like to make you smile, so there'll be little treats from us throughout the year.
9. Paid holiday: You'll get 28 days paid holiday every year, which increases after 2 years.
